God's Love
Made real for all, without exception.
As a church of the welcoming God, People of Hope, centered on the teachings and example of Jesus Christ, commit ourselves to the work of anti-racism, social and economic justice, and environmental care.
Furthermore, People of Hope is committed to removing all barriers that might prevent us from fulfilling our mission as a loving community of faith. To that end, we continually weigh ourselves against God's welcoming standards and strive to welcome all - including, but not limited to - people of every race, nationality, the BIPOC community, age, political affiliation, marital status, gender identity, gender expression, economic or social status, sexual orientation, mental and physical abilities...
Worship at People of Hope

Member Missionaries
Our members at People of Hope are a diverse group of people referred to as Member Missionaries (or M&Ms) as an indication that everyone is involved in the mission of People of Hope and sharing God's message of love in the world.
